If you're a modder it's pretty easy to write a driver, you just have to implement the corresponding interface from the API and register it with OpenComputers in the init phase. Have a look at the implementation of the built-in drivers for in-depth reference, if you find the documentation is insufficient.

The Adapter block also serves as a ComputerCraft peripheral, providing an interface imitating that of ComputerCraft's (wired) modems. It will forward network messages sent from ComputerCraft to the OpenComputers side, which can be received if a [[Network Card|Items#network-card]] is installed. It will also receive OpenComputers' network messages and push a corresponding signal in CC computers attached to the adapter. Note that network messages in OpenComputers do not require a "response port" like ComputerCraft does. If the first argument for the network message is a number, it will be interpreted as the response port to tell ComputerCraft receivers, otherwise the response port will be set to `-1`.

Allows connecting different networks to each other. Only network messages will be passed along, components will not be visible through this. Use this to separate networks while still allowing communication using Network Cards. The reasoning is the same as for the [[Power Distributor|Blocks#power-distributor]] not connecting its adjacent networks: you may often wish to keep your sub-networks separate. This allows computers in different sub-networks to communicate without having to go all out and use wireless networks. Allows connecting different networks to each other.
